Lucy, I owe you an apology for accidentally rolling your trailer down the hill, exploding it with dynamite, and crushing it under a dead dragon. Bunch of stuff that happened, kind a funny story really, might as well tell you it.
Well Pete and I were throwing the football around behind your lot, and it rolled under your trailer. Right in the middle, and we can't neither of us reach it, so we figured we'd just jump in the power wagon and pull out your rig a bit so we can grab the ball. Had the wrong hitch ball, so I just tied a rope. It was going okay, then it broke, so I guess that was a bad idea. Trailer snaps back, tips off the pad, and wouldn't you know it rolls right on down the embankment. Bit of a rough ride, it stays up though, so I'm like this is totally fine. Just have to winch that one back up. It's a Starcraft, it can take it.
Too much mud to get a good pull going, so we think to put down some gravel and rocks. Don't have any gravel, but I did have some left over dynamite in the wagon, so why not make some gravel from that boulder in the back of your lot? Light up a stick, throw it on over to it, but wouldn't you know it takes a weird bounce off the football that by now went and rolled over there, and the stick gets flung on down the hill to the roof of the trailer. BLAMM! So that thing is a flaming wreck in no time. And Pete's sitting in the power wagon and he kind of freaks out and jumps out the door, and catches the emergency brake with his ankle, and the wagon rolls right on down there and lands on the whole thing. Guess that breaks the trailer's propane line or something, cause things got worse pretty fast. You would not believe the fireball that went up. Pete and I just run for it, but of course all that noise brings around the dragons like usual. I managed to hit one in the eye with my crossbow, and wouldn't you know it falls out of the sky right on the pile with the wagon and your trailer!
Anyways, in the end you're out one trailer, I lost the power wagon, so I guess we're even steven, right? Ha ha. But I did pull some sweet teeth and blue scales off the dead dragon after the fire died down, and I left them by your back door, so I guess you owe me one now, right? But sorry anyways. Though that kind of thing is bound to happen sooner or later, even if it is a Starcraft.
